Isaiah 46
1 Bel bows down. Nebo stoops. Their idols are carried by animals, and on the livestock. The things that you carried around are heavy loads, a burden for the weary.
“Pa inge saflaiyen god nukewa lun Babylon! Meet, mwet uh alu nu ke Bel ac Nebo, A inge touyak ma sruloala ingan nu fin donkey, Na ke toasr ma sruloala uh, donkey uh totola.
2 They stoop and they bow down together. They could not deliver the burden, but they have gone into captivity.
Ma sruloala inge tia ku in sifacna molelosla. Sruoh elos ac utukla. Saflaiyen god nukewa lun Babylon pa inge!
3 “Listen to me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that have been carried from their birth, that have been carried from the womb.
“Porongeyu, fwilin tulik natul Jacob, Kowos nukewa su lula sin mwet luk. Nga nuna karingin kowos oe ke kowos isusla ah me.
4 Even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear. Yes, I will carry, and will deliver.
Nga pa God lowos ac nga fah karingin kowos Nwe ke na kowos matuoh ac fiayala. Nga orekowosla ac nga fah karingin kowos. Nga fah kasrekowos ac molikowosla.”
5 “To whom will you compare me, and consider my equal, and compare me, as if we were the same?
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Su kowos ac lumweyu nu kac? Ya oasr sie saya oana nga?
6 Some pour out gold from the bag, and weigh silver in the balance. They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god. They fall down— yes, they worship.
Mwet uh ikasla pak lalos ac okoala gold uh liki; Elos pauniya silver ke mwe paun. Elos moli nu sin sie mwet orekma ke gold elan orala sie god, Na elos epasr ac alu nu kac.
7 They bear it on their shoulder. They carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands there. It cannot move from its place. Yes, one may cry to it, yet it can not answer. It cannot save him out of his trouble.
Elos srukak nu finpisalos ac us fahsr. Elos ac tulokinya ke sie acn, ac el tu we — Tia ku in mukuila liki acn sac. Kutena mwet fin alu nu kac, ma sruloala sac tia ku in topuk, Ku molella liki ongoiya.
8 “Remember this, and show yourselves men. Bring it to mind again, you transgressors.
“Kowos mwet koluk, esam ma se inge; Nunku ke ma nga orala uh.
9 Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other. I am God, and there is none like me.
Esam ma sikyak pacl loeloes somla. Kowos in etu lah nga mukena pa God, Ac wangin sie saya oana nga.
10 I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done. I say: My counsel will stand, and I will do all that I please.
Nga tuh fahkak na emeet ke ma ac sikyak in pacl tok uh. In pacl loeloes somla nga fahkak mea ac fah tuku. Nga tuh fahk lah pwapa luk ac tia ku in tafongla. Ac nga fah oru ma nukewa fal nu ke ma lungse luk.
11 I call a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. Yes, I have spoken. I will also bring it to pass. I have planned. I will also do it.
Nga ac pangon sie mwet in tuku kutulap me. El ac pwesrouli oana sie eagle, Ac orala ma ng oakiya in orekla. Nga fahk tari, ac ma nga fahk uh ac fah orekla.
12 Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted, who are far from righteousness!
“Porongeyu, kowos mwet likkeke, Su nunku mu kutangla uh arulana loesla liki kowos.
13 I bring my righteousness near. It is not far off, and my salvation will not wait. I will grant salvation to Zion, my glory to Israel.
Nga ac use len in kutangla in apkuran — Tiana loes liki kowos. Kutangla luk fah tia ikolyuki. Nga fah molela Jerusalem, Ac oru in akfulatyeyuk Israel in acn we.”
